Final Fantasy IX: The Fall of Mages RP

Letitia landed softly on the ground, and took the time to heal her wounds and repair the ripped folds of her dress before slowly walking over to her daughter, a little smile on her face as she drank in every ounce of fear, of misery and of helplessness before she stood before her. Such a weak little girl. Not a woman at all.

"You have only yourself to blame for this, little child," she whispered softly, and kicked Shera in the side of her face, turning her over onto her back as blood drew from her torn lips. Letitia only laughed as she drew her black blade, poising it over her daughter's heart. "Goodbye." She brought it down.
 
Shera's eyes widened as the unbearable shooting pain went through her as the sword pierced through her heart...coughing up blood as she turned her head to see the sword potruding from her back and her mother...smirking triumphantly over her...

The blood seeped uncontrollably from her wound as the figure she had seen before came closer and closer....Shera could not make out who it was as her eyes had become distorted from the loss of blood...

Letitia pulled the sword back out and vanished, as the figure approached screaming Shera's name with a sound of extreme emotion within her voice, suddenly she felt herself being lifted by whomever it was....finally she made out the blurry image as she was carried across the battlefield.....It was Tahomi....

"P...le..asse...t..ake me ...to Delta" Shera struggled for words, but made sure it was clear where she wanted to be... Tahomi reluctantly accepted and took her mistress to the side of the fallen Delta and placed her down..

"Shera, please you cant leave us, SOMEONE GET A MEDIC!" Tahomi struggled to fight off tears as she screamed for assistance, only for the call to go unheard...

"Ta..homi....listen to me....ca..refully" Shera clenched on to Tahomi's arm tightly, blood was still flowing from the wound as Shera seemed to be fighting to stay alive, if only long enough to tell Tahomi whatever it is she needed to say...."S.ee V..Vi Vivius as soon as you can....he...n..eeds to teell you something ..important..." She continued..

Tahomi listened intently but shuck her head in disbelief "You'll be ok, we will fix this we'll get you some help....GODDAMN IT GET A MEDIC HERE NOW!!" she continued to yell out, but still noone came...

"Tahomi LISTEN!....yo..u a...re me....your a part of me!....a fragment of my soul...Vivius created you from me!" Shera continued as she could see the disbelief across the face of the grief stricken Tahomi...

"What?...how?" Tahomi was taken back by this revelation and wanted to know more...

"S...eek o..ut Vi..vius and take my sw..ord with you... he will explain, now before you go...please....I want to be alone with Delta...for a moment" Shera motioned her head towards Delta's body as she finished her sentence, Tahomi took the hint and placed Shera's hand on his and took a step back..

Shera stared at the face of Delta as her eyes began to darken...everything began to fade...as she drew her final breaths "We will be together...again my love....for....ever" With those final words, Shera's eyes rolled to the back of her head and her chest stopped moving to signify she was no longer breathing....she was gone.

Tahomi quietly knelt and moved her hand gently through Shera's long blonde hair and moved her hand down her face and closed her eyelids, a moment later Shenju came dragging a field medic with him....realising it was too late he stood silent..

Tahomi stood and looked into Shenju's eyes before collapsing on him and bursting into a fit of tears and emotions, a tear slowly rolled down Shenju's face as the realisation that Shera was no longer with them...hit them...

-ooc- sorry for the slight godmod there letitia, had to bring the emotional scene to its climax, good job btw :)

Letitia was in her warship, laughing to herself. Her daughter was dead, and now nothing was there to stand in her way.
The misery had been truly exquisite, and her daughter's pain, her expression as she realised she had lost was almost too hilarious to withstand.
"Start the engines," she ordered, smirking to herself.
 
After a few moments, moments that felt like an eternity, Tahomi regained her composure and wiped the tears from her eyes....she clutched tightly onto Shenju's hand as she reached down and picked up the sword Shera had told her to take with her....

As she grasped the blade and looked at it closely, the blade began to hum and a flash of light came out from within it, blinding both Tahomi and Shenju, as they shielded there eyes from the brilliant light....

Suddenly a voice resounded within her head...."Hail to thee my mistress, pure of heart. You have freed me from my curse, I serve only those who possess the power to wield or vanquish the darkness.....I am the White Phoenix lord....better known as Illuminati"

"The Illuminati!!" Tahomi thought to herself, "All this time, the sword of Shera's father was the legendary Illuminati!" She could hardly believe her eyes as the sword began to reshape within the light and continued to speak to her through telepathy.

"I feel your pain and mourn the loss of my former mistress, but she was corrupted by darkness, you are untainted, for which I grant you my power to wield as you see fit, together we will achieve your destiny...White Lotus" as the words echoed in Tahomi's head the sword finished reshaping as the blade colour changed to a brilliant white with a softly glowing golden edge, as it finished as before with Shera, a dazzling aura of light flashed out and covered over Tahomi, when it disipated, she too like Shera was transformed....no longer the Naive pupil, but now the master....

She stood dressed in a white kimono gi top with long cuffs, the gi decorated with patterns of lotus flowers, and a breastplate of gold and mithril interwoven with the crest of the phoenix lord emblazoned on the centre....she also wore a black hakama skirt that drapped down to her ankles and a long silver belt around her waist, with a silver lined scabbard attached, she no longer had her mask on, nor a headband...her hair was freely lose showing her golden locks to there full potential as they shone in the sun....

Shenju could hardly believe what he was witnessing when the voice of the sword spoke to him too "I hold you...the last shogun accountable for her saftey, show me your sword" with a gulp in his throat Shenju unsheathed his katana, as the light smothered it and engulfed him as well....

As he emerged from the light, he wore a Red Samuari battle armor, marked with the symbol of his shogun forefathers, despite its heavy appearance it was remarkably light, his tengu mask had now been altered to represent the face of the shoguns greatest symbolic animal, the red dragon...his katana, was now a golden edged katana, with a red tassel hanging from the crossguard, upon the blade was a marking of the dragon of the shogun..

Both Tahomi and Shenju stood silently as the being within the Illumanti blade continued to speak to them "After 5000 years, the Red Dragon, lord of the shoguns and White lotus, queen of the White tiger ninjitsu stand before me, together we will vanquish this world of all evil, seek Master Vivius to begin your journey, I will be watching over you both".

With those words, everything fell silent as the reality of the battlefield re-emerged, Richard was still fighting against the odds, and they were still over the body of the fallen Shera and Delta.

They looked at each other, and with a smile and nod they rushed to Richards aid, swords raised high as they yelled together "For Shera!" as they smashed into the line, cutting down several monsters on there initial blows....
 
Dori woked up in the sandy beach. He looked to the right and to the left. Nobody was there " where the fuck I´m now? Where are all the others?" . He stood up and suddenly he heard from a far distance "For Shera!". Then he hearded more closely and it felt like there was a battle, "Better check that out. I hope that the other onas are already there". He put his axe on his back, took her rifle and filled it with bullets and then started to walk on the way from which the battle sounds came from.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vivius - Father and son!
---------------------------------------------------------------

He was standing there like a rock, still like emptiness. His body felt exhausted but his mind was clear and powerful. His eyes were searching for something, something that was hard to be spotted. Two men, a father and a son. Family members that had been together for long time but never had liked each-other. They were fighting like always but this time was different. They were serious and they were ready. Ready to take others life. The older one was going to teach his creation, his son. But the young one was blinded by the power and magic and let nothing to interrupt his plans, not even his own father. Garland I in his brown armor seemed elegant and powerful, yet he was old and slow. He slashed with his katana and then dodged his son's hit. Smile was formed on his face. After all seeing his own creation being as powerful as he himself was good. He flashed and released a burst of energy which destroyed almost everything on it's way. A direct hit. Blood dropped from the pure white face that his son had. A noble smile came to the face of Garland I once again but II, his face turned darker and colder than before. Rage and madness filled his gaze.

'' You ... you dare to hit me!'' He shouted or more likely roared. His voice, it was arrogant and filled with anger. A second later he was behind his master, ready to kill. His hand was up and a beam of the same old red laser burst trough the barrier which was formed by Garland. Scream and another burst of energy, again direct hit. He fell down, his enemy, his own creation was stronger than he.

'' How ...'' He muttered and stood up. A quick emotionless glance to Vivius and then he continued. Quickly he dash to right, readied his sword and charged at his creation. He started slashing down, but before it went near his enemy, he had disappeared. A sound of a quiet scream. He had reappeared at the back of his enemy but Garland II was faster. A lot faster, almost abnormally. He was able to turn around and block the hit. And in a mere moment he countered it with twice the power used at first. A direct hit to masters chest. The armor was ripped in to pieces. A black robe under it was exposed. He threw the armor away and then continued the battle. A demi formed from nowhere and pulled the son in. Some seconds later the man fell down. His white skin was now covered with red and warm blood, his face seemed astonished. But it didn't matter. A mere eye blink later Garland I stood up like nothing had happened and wiped his face clean.

'' Be strong!'' Vivius told with his fragile voice and disappeared. He was in front of Tahomi.

'' White Lotus, I will deal with you later!'' He told eagerly and didn't let Tahomi to say a word. He was gone once again. Vivius looked around, it was dark. Darker than normal darkness. Were was he?

---------------------------------------------
Richard - New ally!
---------------------------------------------

Richard, a man who should have been dead by now. But still he was fighting, more than everyone else around him. He cut his way trough dozens and dozens of enemies between he and Shera. But then he fell to his knees. An arrow had pierced trough his melten armor. His face, it filled up with even more pain. His only eye was shaking more than before. He fell to mud. It was good, better than was fighting. But there was something he had to do. He released a powerful roar and stood up while he took the arrow out. But then the rage and powerful which filled his body was gone. He stood there like he was alone in the mean world. Shera was down dead, Tahomi standing over him.

'' Letitia ... '' Richard whispered with beaten voice. A drop of tear fell down.

'' Amarus!'' He shouted and in a moment noticed a positive and agile man rushing towards him. He jumped and cut his enemies face to four pieces. His claws were sharp but his swords were even sharper. Half a minute later he was standing next to Richard.

'' Yes my master?'' He asked with worried voice and threw a dagger towards a wolf attacking him. It missed but the next one didn't. A hit to head. The beast fell down.

'' We are going to reatreat ... '' His voice was filled with fear and agony. He raised his look to the heavens. It was filled with red, the sun was also red. The terrible night was over. It was almost midday by now.

'' And yet I have 2 years left ... Amarus!'' He shouted once again. The man dash back as fast as before.

'' Launch a full attack. It's our last chance ..'' He saw a happy smile that was formed on the face of Amarus.

'' That's my Richard ... crazy but uh ... like I'm not...'' He told ironicly and rushed towards the enemy line. Prince of Alexandria started laughing when he heard the words of Amarus but he stopped as fast as he saw Shera's body in the distance.

'' I'm sorry .. but we have to keep on!'' He told and joined Amarus in the battle. Richard meanwhile walked towards the body of Shera.

'' Tahomi and Shenju, go aid Amarus and the Prince.'' He told eagerly and didn't listen to their voices. He walked next to the dead motionless body of Shera and Delta and smiled softly. Then he turned around and run next to the shore. He saw a small but powerful dwarf like man fighting against hordes of enemies alone and decided to join him.

'' Need aid ehh! It's rare to see you dwarves here nowadays ... more like the Terra's race or what?'' Richard muttered with positive voice. Some how he had recovered from the pain of his heart. He liked to be away from everything else and just fight. Just slay and slaughter. It was in his nature.

'' Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Richard Black ...'' His voice was noble and powerful while his swordart was almost as noble. He slashed and dash. Tho, he was exhausted and that why some of his moves were slow and weak.
 
Meanwhile....

In the black mountains of the forbidden contient, an infamous being stirred, sensing the death and bloodshed that had just occured, his eyes lit up as if to suggest joy...

"Its time....time, to have a little fun Whahaha, war is always so much fun!" The being cloaked in the shadows of the cavern in which he called home...

stepping into the light, as he made his way to the exit, the light melted away the shadows and revealed the true insidious form of the being...standing at around 6ft tall decked in dark blue robes with a steeple hat, very similar to Viviuses, but this one was different...horned potruded from his crown and stood out like antlers through his hat, and a pair of black eagle-like wings upon his back....

It was he, the destroyer of the civilation of Gravlon, the most dangerous wielder of the black arts of this age.......The Black Waltz Lord himself....Darkrul.

He looked skyward and fluttered his wings that gentley propelled him into the beyond, and with a flash he disappeared, reapearing over the battlefield.

He looked down upon the raging battle, seeing that one force was being pushed back into the sea, he didnt care which side won, there was only one side in his mind....HIS!

He hovered over the battlefield for a few moments before channelling his dark energies within himself, crackling and sparking with bolts of blue and crimson pulsating across his body....

[ooc music for the debut and an upcoming "situation" xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxQgbTRbT8o [/ooc]

"Thisll be fun, HWahahahahaha....SHADOWWW FLAAAMEE!!" With those words, flame and shadow became one in a funnel of extreme energy that pulsed from his right hand, crashing down into a group of beasts like a thunderbolt and spreading like a forest fire, burning alive any caught within the blast before the shadowy grip takes its hold and disintigrates there ashes..

Darkrul seemingly smiled at his work as his eyes flicked upwards slightly like a grin...pulling his arm back he channeled more energy, this time focusing on the struggling force, intending to show his intentions were not good ones.... "And one for you too Insignificant Insects....SHAADOWW FLAAAMEE! HWHhahahaha!!!"

The bolt of dark, firey melded energy shot from his fingertips and hurtled towards the struggling force....colateral damage was his intention and he seemed to be making good of it....

Vivius - Why?
-------------------------------------------------

Darkness suddenly disappeared and in a moment it felt easier. It was overrun by Vivius flame magic. He turned his look to right and noticed a disappearing mass of darkness. One that no other than a black waltz. could summon.

'' Why so fast ...'' Vivius muttered and felt excitement. He hadn't met his good old enemy for years, maybe even for dozen of years. He closed his eyes and then opened them. He was in the battle. Right near the body of Shera. At his right hundreds of men were burned to ash by the darkness. Panic rushed trough the forces of both sides. Instantly Vivius raised his head and spotted Darkrul. Another wave was heading towards Alexandrian soldiers but it was no match for Vivius. A sweet movement of hand and the wave was gone. Then he was standing high in the air, right in front of the legendary black waltz. A welcoming smile was formed to his old and tired face.

'' It's nice to see you today. But why?'' Vivius muttered and released a powerful aura of wind. Just in case.
 
"Well isn't it obvious? I'm having a little fun and you...once again have to come along and RUIN it for me!" Darkrul sneered at Vivius, channelling more dark energy.

"I thought you would have learned at Gravlon...you cant stop me, look at what your petty attempts at meddling did there...now it no longer exists, now get out of my way you foolish insubordiante son of a cactuar before I have to destroy you too" He was clearly unamused by Vivuses interuptions and began to channel more energy...

"Well...what are you waiting for? come on you disgusting little urchin lets get this over with, I know its what you came here for!" The arogance of Darkrul knew no bounds, showing utter distain and disrespect for Vivius, as he adopted a dueling pose in mid-air, staring deep into Viviuses eyes with an intense hatred that knew no bounds...
 
While Dori was moving toward the battle he accidentally stepped on a big egg and crushed it"Damn, that would have been a good meal" he tought with a sad face. Suddenly in the high sky there was a loud and pearcing scream. Dori had to cower her ears" What the fuck is that!" he yelled and was looking in the sky. A big eagle was flying towards him. " I´m in a new place and my first battle is with an eagle,pathetic".
He was even more sad" but i believe I to need eyes who can reach to the sky". He voice was suddelni happy. "STONEFORM" he shouted and her skin suddelny tunred into a darg gray colour. The eagle flyed toward him with a high speed and his beak was aiming directly at Dorin. He catched the beak and thanks to the speed he was able to do a 180 degrees lift and the eagle hit her back to the ground."Now stay down and be calmed, Its best for both of us" he said it with a calmed voice and approached the eagle head to head and made a very cloes eye contact. the eagle struggled, he couldn´t turn arund because there were to trees exactly at her sides."Damn, my stoneform is about to end, just couple second more and you are mine" he said it with a nervous voice. the stone forme ended and the eagle lifted her beak, along with it Dori and throw him to far away. Dori hit her back to the tree." Fak only couple second were needed" he said it with a angry voice. The eagle managed get back on her feet. They stared each other, and the eagle flewd away.
Dori spit to the ground " I´ll see you next time". and hi started walking forward again. Couples minutes later he arrived to the battlefield. The picture he saw reminded him the catastrophe he saw in his home. The anger in him growd and his eyes started to turn into red. He took her axe and started searching falmiriar faces. All of the sudden a lot of monsters and humanlike creatures runned at him. He put his axe down and took her rifle" DIE BITCHES!" he shouted and started shooting. One after the other they falled. When they arrived to close, he quickly put her rifle in her back, took her axe and said"stoneform" quietly.
Again her skin tunred into dark gray colour and runned towards them. Every stpe he made was heavier, every step he made became faster and finaly he was just like a stone what was rolling down the hill. Rushed into her enemys, nobody was able to hold him back. Not only his body was dangerous, he also swinged her axe, cutting down everyone who standed her way.
Those who tried to hit her, there weapons and bones broked. He stopped and was middle of her enemys. couple second later his form ended"Now I´m in deep shit". But then he saw how an wounded humanlike thing approached him and also killed those monsters. '' Need aid ehh! It's rare to see you dwarves here nowadays ... more like the Terra's race or what?". Dori didn´t know how to answer. but he managed to tell him" Fight now, talk later".
When he introduced himself, then Dori watched that he is too wounded to continue. Richard was his name. he looked just like her father, who also fighted with several wounds but didn´t stopped. "You should rest" said Dori and whistled 3 times. At the third time an eagle approached from the sky and flewd near Dori , knocking down enemies"I told you I will see you again. Hey Richard clime to the back of the eagle and go away, you are too injured to continue!" he shouted at Richard.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Vivius - Without light there will be no shadows!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Vivius'es look got serious in a moment. He felt how energy started moving trough his veins faster and faster. That eventually made him smile. He was interested in Darkrul, he had always been. The arts of darkest magic, something that makes every black mage interested and some of them crazy, some of them restless. Once, decades ago he had read it but only once. Most of the book was now forgotten and so seeing the magic of it was always a pleasure even if it caused pain to so much people. He gave a quick glance to surroundings and then filled the air with darkness.

'' Let's fight here ... where we both are stronger!'' He muttered while the heaven was filled with darkness. Even the sun was covered, partly of course. The battlefield was in total emptiness like it had been during the night. Only the light caused by cannons lightened the world up. Vivius saw something like a huge bird flying to the south were Daguerro was. He felt the collapsing aura of Richard and then turned his face back to Darkrul. A huge energy blast filled with electricity and hidden in darkness was moving towards him at high speed. Smoothly he dashed to right and dodged it even when it was so close that the heat made sweat to drop and burned the syntetical skin of Black Mage.

'' You are good ...'' He had to stop the sentence because the energy wave had turned around and was heading once again towards him. This time he wasn't playing. He bursted out a huge wave of blue energy and dismissed everything the previous attack had to offer.

'' But still ... don't you think we are both too old?'' He then told. His voice was ironic but his mind was clear and serious. Then he disappeared. A moment later his hand was a inch away from Darkrul's face and a energy sphere had formed in the hand.

'' Don't overdo it!'' He shouted and charged the sphere at the face.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Richard - Free ride to home?
-----------------------------------------------------------

Richard was cold and emotionless, but the moment he run out of enemies to slash, the pain reappeared. He fell to his knees and then turned his face to the eagle.

'' So ... a free ride to home ... I ... I want to go to Daguerro ... There is some business.'' He muttered and fell to the ground. But before the dwarf was able to react, Richard was up. He spit blood and then moved towards the bird.

'' Thank you ... you will be payed good!'' He muttered once again and jumped on the eagle.

'' You coming?'' He asked. Suddenly, the sun was gone. It was dark like night and dark energy spilled out from a centre of magnetic darnkess somewhere in the sky.

'' Darn ... we better move ... eh.. out.'' Richard shouted while he force pulled the dwarf to the eagle.

'' Get this thing to move!'' He told and nodded to a soldier half a mile away.

'' REATRET!'' The soldier shouted. In a moment every single soldier of Alexandria started moving back.

'' Now ... let's move to south!'' Richard told to the dwarf.
 
The eagle rose from the ground, causing strong windabove, so that no one will be able to catch him." Wich way is south, I dont know this place" yelled Dori, so Richard could hear him , beacouse the cannon epxlousin sounds and the screaming and yleeing from the ground made it impossibel to talk in normal tone.

Richard then pointed her finger and Dori ordered the eagle to fly that way as fast as he can beacouse Dori noticed that the dark energy around them made the eagle scared. Dori also didn´t like it. The sky turned so dark that it was unable to watch the ground. But it wasnt difficult to Dori. He watched and saw how all the soldiers retreaded. Also he noticed that how the monster were chasing them.

Dori orded the eagle to fly above the soldires, but stay very hihg at the ground. He took his weapon, and started aiming"Hey Richard, don´t you mind if I kill some of the monster who are faster than your kind. It´s pretty easy" But before Richard could answer that, Dori already started shooting.

One of the monsters were quite speedy and jumped into tohe middle of retreading soldiers. A bullet then pierced his head and he falled down"Just like shooting birds from the sky" said Dori with happy face and smiled at Richard. "how far is this city , were you want to go?"asked Dori then.
 
"Have you forgotten Vivius?....age has no bearing on my lifespan anymore!" Darkrul mocked Vivius and sneered at his magic, before reaching his hand out and absorbing the energy like it was a mere plaything.

"Foolish, very foolish, it seems you have forgotten the power I possess, the book that I own and you so desire to read from...THIS!" He reached into his robe and pulled out an old bound black tome that shimmered with energy, it was the legendary book of black arts that he had stolen many years ago.

"Since I'm a good sport and I really dont want this to be a one sided fight, let me read you just one of the many spells this book has given me the knowledge of....Hursuu Manuu Hersi zon Waltzen die bue Zanga....BLACK DEATH!" with those words a black cloud appeared in the skies, the cloud in the formation of a laughing skull that danced through the air and exploded.

Darkrul tucked the book back into his robe and focused back on Vivius "Lets see if you still have what it takes to match energy to energy at least then shall we?" he began to channel dark energies into his staff and raised it high.... "Hranggaa Zie Frangu FLAMING SHADOWS!!" as he finished the encantment, a beam of black energy smothered in flickering flames shot from his staff, aimed at Vivius, looking for Vivius to counter with magic of his own in a test of magical aptitiude and strength....
Below on the battlefield, Tahomi and Shenju were fighting alongside each other when they spotted Richard leaving the battlefield on an eagle with a dwarf and the sound of retreat being made.... Together they ran hacking through the forces as quickly and cleanly as they could, when Tahomi suddenly looked skyward and spotted Vivius locked in a duel with something she had never seen before, whatever it was...it was extremely powerful and seemed to be causing Vivius a lot of trouble.

But now wasnt the time, she and Shenju had to fall back, wielding the power the Phoenix lord had given them they managed to fight there way through to the retreating force and fall back along side them, constantly glancing up at the power struggle between Vivius and whatever the creature was, and back to the bodies of Shera and Delta, with a heavy heart as they moved south with the remainder of the Alexandrian force...
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Vivius - Darkness ... nothing I don't know!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Vivius felt excitement when he saw the book but then something pulled him back. The words of his grandfather, master Vivi.

'' Remember my grandson. Magic is a wonderful thing and there is only one type of magic I tend not to use, but it is the strongest of them all! It's darkness. Never show your enemies that you know how to use it, but once when you do, punish enemies for not believing in your greatness'' Those words were legendary, especially for a black mage of Vivi's class. Vivius had followed his grandfather's words for a long time. He was also best at darkness but he didn't like to use it, actually he did like he only knew the basics there. That's why that anyone besides the left Quina and Richard knew about his greatness in Dark magic. But Vivius hadn't time for thinking, he had to test his enemy as much as possible. He flashed away from every single attack but every time he reappeared, he had to flash away once again. It was like his moves were predictable. But then he reappeared in the same location. In a mere moment a huge sphere of lighting was formed at his hand and he sent it out. It was certainly more powerful than any of the magics Vivius had used in this battle. But it was a trick. It felt and seemed as a weak sphere but it contained something more powerful than mere thunder.


-----------------------------------------------------
Richard - Erm .. yeh right!
----------------------------------------------------

Richard smiled to the dwarf when he saw the gun. It was something rare in Gaia, quite rare.

'' You are from Terra right? A mining village probably?'' Richard asked and noticed the amazing accuracy of the man. Then he started shaking.

'' Uh ... Daguerro, my home is 12 mile to there!'' He told and pointed to the Daguerro. The moment he did it, he collapsed under the exhaustion and pain he felt.

The thunder sphere hurtled towards Darkrul, who moved his dark energy beam in an attempt to smother it, suddenly a cataclysmic flash and explosion occured, enveloping the skies and washing over Darkrul, like a thick cloud of potent black energy...

As the smoke dissipated, Darkrul shook himself off and noticed one of his horns had been broken by the explosion....

"MY HORN....MY HORN MY HORN MYYYYY HORNNN!! YOU YOU YOUUUU MISERABLE LITTLE.....Wait....what was that....A kindred spirit?" Darkrul fitted with rage at the loss of one of his horns when suddenly he felt a presence...an evil insidious presence not far from them...

"Well, seems I'll have to finish this later, here catch.....SHHHHHADDOOOW FLARE!!!"
As Darkrul turned to leave, he span back round and blasted a bolt of tremendous Dark firey energy in the shape of a sphere at Vivius, before flying away laughing manically to himself....

As he flew he suddenly spotted a black airship from which he could sense the presence from, he swiftly dropped from the sky and landed on his feet on the deck, his gaze fixed on the owner of the dark energy he was sensing....

"Well isnt this a fine day, never thought I'd see you still around....my dear!" Darkrul's eyes widened as he layed eyes upon Letitia, the owner of the dark energies that had drew him to the battlefield in the first place....
 
"okey then!" said Dori. While Dori was watching how the soldiers were able to escape more freely. Then he notice how two of Richard kind also were fighting and retreading. He then aided them until the worst was over"These two there , they were pretty interesting, while others were only retreding then they were also able to fight and help each other. Just like us in Kazud-Ham, were everybody standed side be side, never abandond his companions" he tought. Then he ordered the eagle to fly faster, because the sky was so uncomfortable." This flight shouldn´t take long " he mumbled and watched the way ahead."Korga" he said to himself"My grandfather told me once that he travelled to this planet, I should try to find him and tell him the news" he said and then he falled asleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
some time later


The eagle made some sound to woke Dori up. Dori woked up and was looking around and the noticed a big city" Whoa! Now thats one big ass village. I have never seen such a place before" he said with amazed tone. THen he woked Richal up " Hey, wake up i believe we have arrived to this dagu.. or whatever it´s named. Here should I land? Direct me!" he told to Richard when he opened his eyes.

Vivius - So much for a battle ...
------------------------------------------------

He was standing there still, ready to defend himself. But his enemy was gone and he was left behind. Only a powerful and mortal shadowflare was left as a leaving gift. It came straight to Vivius and he didn't try to block it. A dircet hit. Something blood-like dropped from his mouth and his clothes were dusty but after few seconds he had recovered.

'' So .. that is quarter of his power ...'' He thought in his mind and wiped the dust away.

'' A little bit more and I would have been down on the grass ...'' He told ironicly. Finally fight was over, for now. Revilement filled his body as he started thinking. He was still match for Darkrul but his powers had decreased by age and Dakrul's powers had increased. Like he said, age doesn't matter for the dark book controller. But that book. It wasn't all that special, Vivius knew it. Only thing that it truly teached was the fact that darkness is the strongest. Always. But then something made him more worried than the upcoming battle between him and Darkrul. His gaze was filled with misery.

'' That airship ... it's Letitia's.'' He thought. It came as a sudden shock as he knew that Letitia looked like the priestess. Anger and fear popped up in his mind but soon he forgot them.

'' At least he will be busy for some time ...'' There was always a positive side. He then flashed next to Tahomi on the battleground. It seemed as they were safe now, ready to leave the battle.

'' Get back to the camp in the forest. I will hold the enemy off!'' Vivius told with loud and powerful voice. It was almost deafening. A friendly smile was the last thing that Tahomi saw on the face of Vivius as he was gone next moment.
In the middle of hundreds and hundreds of beasts and soldiers there was one man. Every beast was lurking and seeking for opportunity to attack. Rage and bloodlust filled every eye pair that was watching him. But no-one was ready to attack. They waited for the right moment, for the best moment. It was Vivius in the middle of it. He had appeared in the camp of Oeilvert to alert his enemies. To buy time for Daguerro. His face was death cold, his hands were ready. He wasn't afraid but he didn't feel to good. Then it started. Waves of energy started bursting trough the enemies. Cutting and killing everything that was trying to get near him. Then a sudden blow. He fell down but was up before the attacker was able to notice. A Demi spell pulled him in. Vivius turned around and dash. Barely he dodged a mouth what was going to rip him in to pieces. He punched and then flashed. He was in the air. A sudden attack from a eagle. It touched his skin but didn't harm him. He released a firaga spell, burning everything that was going to touch him. Then he fell down. An arrow had pierced to his left hand. Pain, it was something he rarely felt. Then his eyes got darker and it got chilly. The beasts started avoiding eye contact and weren't raging as much as before. Then one turned around and run. So did everyone else. But it was late, too late.

'' Meteor ...'' He shouted or more like roared. His voice was deafening and powerful. In a mere moment ground started shaking and a huge meteor appeared from the dark sky. The heat started burning everything under it. Then it smashed down. Earth was shaking and beasts were dying. Vivius was gone like was everything else. Nothing was left, no-one. Whole mile was wiped off from existance, leaving only a empty crater behind. Vivius was now standing on a top of a hill. His eyes were glowing, filled with red tone. Something dark was surrounding him.

'' Thank you ...'' Vivius told to the Dark form of his. No answer was heard. Then, the body collapsed. Vivius was exhausted, collapsed under the weight of his dark trance power.

Richard - Sweet home!
-----------------------------------------------

He felt the gentle wind and the movement of the eagle. He opened his eyes and saw the relaxing sight. He was in Daguerro, finally. Richard pointed to a island around half a mile further to the south. There was a huge mansion and some soldiers patrolling.

'' Put me down there ... and then ...'' He wanted to continue but exhaustion caught him once again. He collapsed. The eagle fly next to the island and landed. It was safe and soft landing. Instantly three soldier were running next to them when one of them shouted:

'' Master Richard ...'' He run next to Richard's exhausted body and pulled it down.

'' Thank you ... you may come in!'' The soldier said to the dwarf and then gave Richard to other two soldiers. They took him inside. It was a warm and homely looking mansion. In the main room there were two huge fireplaces. It was warm. Two staircases went to the second floor. That's were Richard was taken. They moved trough a long corridor and then turned to left. They were in a medical room. A woman was standing there, a familiar woman. It was Eophelia.

'' Richard ..'' He told and a tear formed on his eye.

Dori came down from the eagle and talked to him. Moments later the eagle clapped her wings and flyed back to the forest.
Dori entered the house with the other soldier. He opened the door and felt the warm breeze to his face. Then he looked around " Not bad, not bad at all". Then he noticed two fireplaces and a chair in front of them. He sat down and called the soldier" Hey you, in the armour" he told in normal and relaxed tone" Could you please tell me when Richard is ready to talk and could you also bring me some beer?
Better yet bring me a lot of beer. My throat is dry. Havent able to drink something normal beside the salty water form the ocean"he told and the soldier was on his way.

Eophelia - Our little secret!
------------------------------------------------------

Eophelia was using all the magic she knew. Her hands aimed at Richard's face and elegant white light was lightening the face of Richard. Closely some of the wounds closed, some didn't. He was hit really bad. Probably if he would had stayed in the battle, he would have been dead by now. Once in a while, a tear formed and dropped down. She couldn't stand the fact that Richard was dying. Not at all. After all their daughter had to be raisen by them both, not by her alone. She touched her stomach which was now huger than it had been before.

'' My dear child ..'' She told in her mind and then left Richard. She walked trough the lonely corridors til the main hall. Slowly she walked down the staircase and made her way to the quiet dwarf who seemed to enjoy his beer.

'' This beer is made by Richard.'' Eophelia told with gentle yet strong voice. She sat down and gave a quick glance to the dwarf. He noticed something familiar but tried to ignore it.

'' Are you from Terra? The dwarves of Outer Continent tend to have smaller beard.'' Eophelia told and started watching the fire in the fireplace. It was beautiful, powerful and warm. Everything that Richard had been. But without beauty, it wasn't Richard anymore.
